Ind vs Aus 4th Test Day 2 Highlights: India made a mockery of the Australian bowling attack on Day 2. After Cheteshwar Pujara fell for 193, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja dug in and put up a stand that ended on 204 with the dismissal of Jadeja. India decared on 622/7 and Australia are 24/0 at the end of the second day in Sydney.

Pant was unbeaten on 159 off 180 balls. He is the first Indian wicketkeeper to score a Test century in Australia. This was his second century and his first was also the first by an Indian in England.

Ind vs Aus 4th Test Day 2 Highlights:

...trail India by 598 runs. Khawaja is on 19, Harris on 5. Khawaja has been given a lifeline by Pant and so Australia end the day without losing a wicket. Not that it makes much of a difference though. There are three days left in this Test match and it will truly be a miracle if Australia can get themselves into a winning position from this point. But then again, these kind of miracles can only happen in Test cricket. Batting records fell like rain today during the brutal Indian innings. Check them out here. Thanks for sticking around, see ya tomorrow!

The batsmen are playing their shots. Australia are trailing by no less than 611 runs. The only real use this innings has is that the Australian batsmen stand a chance of improving their tally for the series and their batting averages.

Jadeja steps out, takes a heave and misses the ball completely. He is dismissed for 82, Lyon gets his fourth and Kohli calls his players back. Pant is unbeaten on 159, the partnership between him and Jadeja ends on 204.India 622/7.

Remember when Cheteshwar Pujara was dismissed? That happened only in the previous session, for Australia that may have been five days ago. In fact, this must feel like a timeless Test for them. Partnership between these two is now getting closer to 200.

It is now 160, to be precise and it was taken there by a glorious straight drive from Jadeja. Australian openers have been looking to the dressing room in hope. Kohli is not even wearing whites and Kuldeep is padded up which means India are not intent on declaring at all. Kohli would like to see Pant scoring a 200 maybe.

They are absolutely rubbing it in Australia faces now. None of the Indian players are in whites and they don't like they have any intention of doing so. India can keep this going as long as they want here. This is a statement. Pant is on 128, Jadeja on 49.

Australia have now bowled three ODI matches worth of overs, Nathan Lyon has is into his 53rd. They are throwing the ball to anyone who knows how to hold it now. India cruising at 54-/6, Jadeja 8 runs away from securing a 50 for himself.

He is the first Indian wicketkeeper to score a Test ton in Australia. Brings it up with a four, as you would expect. If they don't get either of these two out, Australia are in for more pounding. India are under no pressure at all to declare and Rishabh Pant does not have the burden of being in the 90's to worry about.

...and rightly so. Chances of him playing another epic in the second innings is close to none now and so we won't be seeing him again until India's next Test series which is only in March. For the Indian fans, neutrals, and indeed, those Australian fans who can look beyond the miseries of their team ad appreciate good cricket, this innings has been a lovely parting gift.

Classical Test Match batting, a masterclass from Pujara. So much to learn from him for batsman all over the world these days. And while comparison is not fair, for the criticism he gets , in this series Pujara has scored runs at a strike rate marginally more than Kohli. pic.twitter.com/y20abO588C

Rishabh Pant is now just under 40 runs away from becoming the second highest run scorer in the series, overtaking Virat Kohli in the process. Considering this is his first half-century of the series, this is a reflection of his consistency. He also channeled his inner Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson just for fun.

He is just seven runs away from his double ton when his attempt at pushing the ball towards the leg side is unsuccessful and it lobs straight back to the bowler Nathan Lyon. The SCG stands and applauds as he walks off. He has batted nearly five sessions and absorbed 373 balls. He has been part of four 50-plus partnerships, two of which crossed over into three figures. His tally for the series stands at 521 runs off 1258 balls. Take a bow please.

Jadeja will be smiling looking at that little patch. The pitch is expected wear down further and so Australia are truly in for it whenever they come to bat, which is not going to happen any time soon. For now, Hazlewood charging and the Pujara is on strike. He is on 193.

Pujara, on 192, tries to cut Lyon and the balls ends up flying to the right of Khawaja. He sticks out his right hand but the ball simply bounces off. India get two more runs in that over and the score is now 412/5.

Twice. The first was a yes-no between him and Pujara on the striker's end. He manages to get back in time, bowler Labuschagne does well to collect the ball and throw it back to the stumps. He would have been done had it been a direct hit. The second time was when he attempted a lofted shot, it falls short for Hazlewood at long-on.

Another big session for India. Pujara is inching closer to the 200 run mark and he is on his way to breaking quite a few records. Australia right now look devoid of ideas. Cricket Australia, meanwhile, has announced the ODI squad.

An incredible piece of batsmanship from Pant takes India beyond 350. Starc belts in a yorker coming in at over 150kph, Pant manages to get his bat down despite being slightly off balance and the ball actually trickles away to the long on boundary.

...is a work of art. Full delivery outside off, Pant leans in and caresses it through extra covers for four. Pujara had hit another four two balls earlier and he has now moved to 160. This is his seventh 150, which takes him past VVS Laxman.

So, Australia finally get a wicket. A very strange dismissal, the umpire had lifted the finger even before Lyon had properly started an appeal. Tim Paine and Marnus Labushscagne looked very confident of it. Vihari reviewed as soon as he saw the umpire's decision and when made the T with his bat and hand, Lyon looked pretty dejected. The ball looped up only after hitting the bicep and it would have been impossible to see that nick with the naked eye. Great decision from Ian Gould. It is one of those rare occasions when the bowler thought it was not out and the decision from upstairs said something else.
